Dunya Atisha, MD

My breast reduction experience was amazing. I'm so very happy. Dr Atisha was awesome and I highly recommend her. The entire process from preop to post op was excellent. I'm pleased with my results. Updated on 9 Dec 2021: Today was my first post op visit. Got my drains taken out and steri strips on. It was a little painful(removal of sutures and drains), thankfully I had taken pain meds 30 mins prior in anticipation. Im pleased with my healing. Updated on 9 Dec 2021: First post op visit. Im very happy. Dr Atisha was great. I would definitely highly recommend her. Got my drains removed, and steri strips placed. Im glad i took some pain meds just prior to my appointment, the suture removal and pulling of the drains was a little painful. Updated on 9 Dec 2021: Steri strips placed. My first post op visit. Im very happy with results. Feels good to have the drains out. The removal of drains and sutures was a bit painful. Thankfullybi took my pain meds just before. Updated on 9 Dec 2021: First post op visit. Sutures and drains removed; steri strips placed. Feel more like myself. My next appointment with Dr Atisha is in another two weeks. Hope to continue to heal well. Will start walking on treadmill tomorrow. Updated on 10 Dec 2021: Today was a great day! Walked for an hour on the treadmill. Slowly... 3.2 to 3.4... My surgeon recommends walking and I was happy to oblige. I definitely miss doing doing activities including lifting weights.

Ok, sooo I am 36. 5'9 and weigh 152 pounds and wear a small or size 5. I have a 16 year old, a 17 year old and a set of twin boys who are 13. I got heart failure due to the pregnancy, gained a ton of weight, then had surgery and lost over 130 pounds. That's when I found a lump in my right breast then the mamogram found 3. Needless to say I had surgery to have them removed even after being told they were nothing....fibroadenomas. (My doc said no I want them removed anyway) unfortunately it ended up being cancer and I was diagnosed on April 4, 2016 at the age of 35. I then had a double masectomy on June 15, 2016. What a ride...at the moment I have expanders in and wasn't planning on my expander to implant surgery until late October maybe early november so I decided I also wanted a tummy tuck with Mr.....i figured I have wanted this for years after the twins so now that I have had all this surgery im ready. Long story short they were going 2 do my tt with mr during my exchange surgery. Well just my luck lol my left expander is leaking so my surgeon decided to move everything up....to THIS WEEK???? August 26th (friday) so I'm now looking for as much info and help as possible from someone who has had a tt with Mr. What is it like? What do I need to buy.....your experience and advice would greatly be appreciated? I attached some pics...its hard to tell from these pics that im very thin but I am also curious if I should be getting liposuction? Updated on 1 Sep 2016: My breast exchange went well. My right implant I feel is still under my arm too much but I was told it would move? My surgeon I thought did what we discussed for my tummy tuck... until I took my binder off. She did a good job but the scar placement was completely devastating to see. It's way too high and I was told nothing so when I seen it I was in shock to say the least...there is no way I could hide this.....pants wouldn't cover this???????? I could cry... Updated on 1 Sep 2016: Devastated...after having breast cance, a double masectomy, numerous surgeries I was looking forward to this tummy tuck. I decided to do something for me. I'm at a loss for words here.....
